Another Apple scandal: iPhone 5 staticgate

Users on both MacForums and on Apple’s own discussion forums, say that lines of static appear across their iPhone 5’s keyboard as they type. Interestingly, the issue only occurs when entering passwords at the App and iTunes store.

A YouTube video posted by a user a few days ago clearly shows static lines dancing across the smartphone’s screen. Some people claim that the problem may be software related, others claim that it’s a hardware issue. Many people also believe that it’s probably linked to the Apple’s recent revamp of their online stores.

This isn’t the first time Apple users have reported glitches and issues with their shiny new iPhone 5. Apple Maps has been a mess since its launch and then there’s also scratchgate. Some users are also reporting purple haze camera issues as well.
